Student Satisfaction • Quarterly Evaluations: • “Excellent service. I'm thankful for the one on one help and accommodating my schedule.” • “[My tutor] allowed me to direct the sessions based on my need, promoting a safe and positive learning environment, providing feedback/knowledge/experience that is relevant to the program and my learning.” • “It really helps me a lot to go through this class. I would not be successful if I did not have one on one tutoring.”
